Friends of the Richmond Archives

The Friends of the Richmond Archives are now on Facebook!

The Friends of the Richmond Archives was established in 1987 to support the work of the City of Richmond Archives and to promote the preservation and understanding of Richmond's history.

In addition to supporting a unique publishing program for local Richmond history and carrying out a busy community exhibit program, the Friends also contribute funds for specialized archival equipment and projects at the City of Richmond Archives.

The Friends have also endowed a UBC award for students in the Masters of Archival Studies Program and have supported a number of programs for local students in Richmond.
